she killed the 26 year-old/year and a safe every room off the relationship with the boyfriend. she disappeared from a parking lot and her body was found months later in a remote area between pleasanton and governor jerry brown has to be to the bill that requires the agency's to a court order before disrupting self-service. the target park and remember lusher the transit agency sparked a free-speech debate when it cut service during a planned protest in san francisco. the governor says it reduced the attention of a true of mercy cow train is ramping up service in the south bay. the writer should pass hit a record high. two new trees are being added. there are budget cuts are also been restored in the age train is adding two new trips to the san jose. to have secure

stops said the school began enforcing a ban on plastic bags. it applies to all retail stores and food establishments and the city. there also be 10¢ charge on any of the baxter given to customers. the judge denied a motion to put the ban on holes. that is a big reminder to bring your backs. signs for hope of the california economy. we talked to experts about the latest trends. voters take a proposition 34. the campaign to make california when the states and nations to abolish the death penalty where he kicked off his world record attempts. we'll be right back.

at park we have one day for the bay area. mr. a the sunshine, finished up way too.

will california joined other states to limit the death

penalty? is the most closely watched measures on the ballot. of former prosecutor who wrote the lot back to '70s is now behind proposition 34 california spend billions of dollars trying to enforce capital punishment. $4 billion. so far 57 inmates have died from natural causes and 13 were executed. and we've been looking in detail at both sides of this issue. we talk with the campaign manager for yes on 34. but the measure to the voters approved. are replaced the death penalty with life in prison without possibility of parole. it requires every person convicted of murder to work in prison and pay restitution. the

death row inmates and private selves position to for content and that a person to work. it would say that a hundred and $30 million every year will be saved for many years to come. we're talking money spent on appeals money spent on trowels appeals, surprisingly on death row housing. keeping the people in the single cells is much more expensive the putting him in the general prison population. in every aspect is more expensive. that includes the health care to give to them in and she said we're more likely to die of natural causes the be executed to connect to save an enormous amount of money by ending death row housing and putting as prisoners into the general prison population. plus the money we save from the appellate process is only needed in the death penalty cases with the disturbing things of this proposition is that it would be applied retroactively

to people who are serving the party been sentenced to death are suddenly the people will no longer be facing that punishment and what you say to crime victims and it did not want softened. their hundreds of murder victims' families to support proposition 34 including people have been threw out death penalty trials themselves. and many of those individuals are actively supporting proposition 34 in california we've only execute 1% of the people it sends to death. the miss california death penalty is a false promise for victims. 99% of time we like the victims say we killed carry out the execution. all we do is drag them through decades of appeals. they think is better for the victims is interesting because this is not the first time the voters have not been asked to decide. as a come to the voters?

this the first time that the voters have decided to change the policy. did never been given the option before. is never been presented to voters. the arguments have been that the question of difficulty more and not money. that triggered the change in tactics. the voters have never been given a chance to replace the death penalty without the possibility of parole. didn't ask to want to pull back the death penalty if you want to expand the death penalty in and asked to vote on judges to take positions on the death penalty. this the first time ever voters will be given a choice between a death penalty and life in prison without possibility of parole. this is also important know that many people support proposition 34 because the of not executed an innocent person in california. the state of louisiana to freedman from death row after 15 years on death row

after being that evidence said he was at innocent. to be interesting to see what the voters decide we'll have a conversation of a supporter of the other side coming up which is a very interesting argument as well. a weather forecast is how to and we've been talking about this morning it's less hot and we thought it will be plenty warm. it is gonna take and nudge to set any records. we start out on the chilly side especially in sonoma county. if you look at the supper the picture. see that. that is cool. slightly more interesting in the '50s elsewhere in the bay area. we applaud skies of top and low clouds off shore. we finally did get a mouse a clear day in around the area and a while. and

because of the presence of a low-cost offshore. this pacific coast air conditioner. it cannot get that high as long as you have this offshore. we'll warm- up over yesterday's high temperatures and will be even more but does not look like riddick bowe in the stratosphere with all of this. if it be a warm autumn day in the bay area with numbers approaching near 100 degrees. and on the south bay to be one. we do have limited low clouds forming offshore. amid a pinpoint forecast is 99 degrees in sacramento. 103 in redding. we of 104 in ukiah. and pinpoint forecasts for the bay area in the south bay will be in the mid-90s. we are warm and we of

75 in the pacific. ahmanson 3 at half moon bay. we have a hundred in the up. and over in pleasanton and double mid-90s and up and not santa rosa amid 68 and 72 at the beach. will be looking for things to warm-up 204 degrees range. the be by monday and tuesday at all funny people could break and as we look ahead into the weekend. the numbers cool down and so warm 1 today yet interesting story the jet pack guy. he's back again. he flew from newport beach to catalina island and southern california straight.

the 26 mi. trip took about four hours but it did set a world record. he made the jet pack that suck water out and should to out upon him into the air. he got up to about 12 mi. per hour into the victory lap a around the bay. the people have the time for. will take a look at the state economy and will break down the job trends and woken drops are being created an expert from st. mary's college with talk about the jobs yesterday in the jobs of today.

welcome back. if you look at the statistics california continues to have a job to a faster rate than the rest of the nation. the state's unemployment rate was still at 10.6% which is 2% higher than united states. was behind these conflicting trends. our lows statistics. this seems to say anything about it. this california up and how we doing hired in the arrest the nation? the park is some good news and bad news story. california is adding jobs but

we're adding tech jobs. and more losing call center jobs it just happened and comcast and livermore. and in sacramento. real losing manufacturing jobs infuse ago adding jobs but not across the border in california and a bay area paths of the bay area. and how much lower unemployment rate the national unemployment rate. but other parts of the east bay have a high of unemployment rate. is interesting statistic because the politicians and government and the san francisco mayor is all about jobs. you look at the tech. the ad tech jobs but most people just laid off during unemployment of getting the jobs or people from out of state coming in? you point to a prom. there's

a mismatch between the people there currently unemployed and skills they have to offer than hiring businesses and skills of the auspices want. some of the tech job search spending, perhaps new colors and computer science graduates the press people coming in from out a state of getting the shop's wares people and laid off from manufacturing plant or call center do not have the skills the required to fill the shops. the will be left out. another thing with the job statistics is when the call center is closing are shifting its call centers of state. and campbell soup and the governor and the politicians create all these other jobs. my question is are the jobs your greeting now to the how to pay and benefits that the old jobs have? or the new jobs different? there's a fundamental shift in the skills that required for these new jobs. it used to be

the case that could high-school graduate work at high school education and concurrent yourself a middle-class income and and and nothing gets no longer the case. college crash which now are being hired full-time but they're piling on part-time. index difficult to bridge over into full time because the market to benefit cost them. is not the same job as it was before. some the jobs are not available to college graduates. i have a recent college graduates were struggling to find professional jobs. there finding themselves in retail sector for example the does not require a college degree. the design had to pay and benefits for their skill set either. their two groups. the highly educated and a lower educated jobs. they're just being left out. of the middle class is being

hollowed out. this election year for the president and mitt romney debates that comes on wednesday will hear about job creation and with the job creation or the mayor or the back to the president and should do. administration evelyn have their conquerors and on the move the economy a few degrees along the spectrum. we now states are connected them with the rest of the world and our ministrations matter which you may hear no longer control of those favors. so they may be able to the edge of recession but i cannot believe that the government is in a position and demonstration is an opposition to really try for the economy for. on the areas that do have to troll or it is the public sector jobs. does a large area in terms of the private sector.

as we attract overall. and the big debate is are we a healthier and healthier i don't think we're attracting as many as we like. some many possesses find it expensive and to do business in california. the cost of living in california is so high. is relative to the rest the country. so this is the thinking about or locate a new facility part of the reluctance to relocate in some regions in california because it's gonna be difficult to attract workers given the cost of living you go where it is cheaper. or you even season shifts with the bay area into a central valley. is an interesting debate on this one away. the point fingers at each other all time. this interesting with the jobs are on with the arts. we of the

professor from st. mary's stinky. and yet some other stuff coming out what may be another bounty scandal and football. and next half-hour, the southern california youth team now under investigation. the prime-time debate may be a verbal slugfest for the presidential candidates and our political insider standoff. and we're gonna go live to los angeles with pictures right now of the 405 with no traffic on the highway. will check it out as the car armageddon is coming up.

the numbers in the mid-90s in your would decrease in the end of the south they plan to warm in the far east antioch would degrees and 100 fairfield and one of and to print what and 95 to chaplain and 95 for pleasanton. if you want relief head to the shore. in san francisco today 75 degrees and 74 at daly city. will probably be close to where we are today the numbers and for relief looked wednesday and thursday and by the end of the week back to the mid '80s and then were rejected a plan to arm tomorrow but this september and october will get warm today. definitely heating up in the campaign trail because president obama and mitt romney planning for the first face-to- face debate in denver. at looking into sports but

this is like my super bowl. we sat down with a political pinsetter willie brown and said watch for obama's to lead against the ropes while mitt romney comes out swinging on the economy hitting hard early to try to knock obama office game. it's an old expression in the underdog comes out swinging in order to knock the champion off the idea is for obama i've read the to come out swinging hard early because of medical preparing depth against the ropes 11 tickets best punches and then you come in with your argument. obama will probably take mitt romney into foreign policy issue is not quite as comfortable with as president obama. we will see how but those 60 million people are expected to watch. we will maybe see a shift among californians and comes to the death penalty voters will have the final sow proposition 34, the end of capital punishment showing its statistical tie on

that ballot measure 45 percent with to keep capital punishment important to what to ban it well within the poll's margin of error and 13 percent of people a still undecided. we heard from supporters of the measure the last half hour and now returning to the opponents of proposition 34. one of them is the cemetery district attorney who sat down with israel this morning to share his thoughts on why he thinks we should keep capital punishment and voted against proposition 34. we heard the argument before the its costly and not they say it's not a deterrent and also moral questions. grit of those three reasons to just stated one of them is what people should be voting on the third one whether or not is the right punishment when it is moral or religious if people don't believe it is they should vote against it if they believe it is in californians traditionally have so done that should be kept and that's what ought to be the issue but instead they try to turn it into the first two things.

number one it's not a deterrent that is an empty argument because no study can be done to say whether it is a deterrent because the people are deterred are not coming for to tell us it clearly is not something we could ever know on deterrence and the first part of the saving of the money it's an empty argument there has been three separate independent studies done and how much money would be saved the varied $85 million between the top one in the last one they're simply not based on reality. boaters should not vote on that basis. you want to see the death penalty carried out and use the voters should make that choate choice for themselves but the problem is it's not going on right now nobody has been executed in years and the whole process is frozen. it's not going on why not get rid of it. greta that's sort of like saying for all those years the forty- niners were lousy team which and i've done is gone out and tried to recruit them should just

close the teens down. i don't have the pessimism that many do that whether we can fix this i think weekend if we have leadership and if we have our political leaders truly would say that the voters of spoken now let's go fix it because i believe it can be done and i do believe that if that is the political will of our leaders will step up and do the right thing to work with everybody on all sides and say here's what can be done to make this better than we could have a viable death penalty. are the latest the state whether it's governor brown or the attorney general they have differing views in the death penalty. as governor she is trying to be more neutral about it but how does that play into carrying out the death penalty in california with our problem

carried out is that the people that were opposed to it include both people on the defense side and judges and have been successful in this new terminal delays it does not have to excess their states plenty of states and talking states like ohio that have been successful in moving it along the beach at the speed it originally intended but it can be done. coming up next looking at all of the new work on the 49ers' new home in the south bay. with a special present for the a's player that helped the team keeps its playoff dreams alive.
